聖レクイエム seems to be a compilation of two eps by ソドム (sodomu, or just "sodom"). this is some reeeeeeeeeeeeeally incredible hardcore punk. this band has become a favorite of mine recently (after i discovered their album TV Murder {which i may be inclined to upload later on}). the production is really bad, but like a very large portion of japanese hardcore this was probably intentional.
the highlight of this album isn't actually a hardcore punk track; it's post-punk (surprise, surprise). after a somewhat fast-tempo rendition of Piano Sonata No. 14 in C♯ minor (simply titled ｢ソナタ｣), the drums take on a primal beat, and the guitar slows down. the vocalist's mumbling comes across like he's all alone in a huge empty factory. delightfully dreary.

ReplyDeletenever been into punk much, but this band really "locks"!
ReplyDelete@ Sootoo: but punk is great! y'know, as long as you avoid . . . 80% of it (-`ω´- )
ReplyDeleteDo you have any of Sodoms later records like the album Beyond????
ReplyDeleteThe first 7 songs are from the awesome "ADK Omnibus Vol. 1" comp, the rest from the original "Hijiri Requiem" album. ソドム were just amazing. I don't know how they were able to move so fluidly from one masterwork to another (in different styles and genres, no less).
